Haptic Rotary Encoder
Control of a Heart - Lung Machine

Field: Robotics

Task: Development of an encoder with a defined operating torque

Customer: Angst+Pfister Sensors and Power

Angst+Pfister Sensors and Power (formerly Pewatron AG) specialises in high-quality sensors and power supply solutions. Their products are used in many different areas of industry. These include medical engineering, wind energy and photovoltaics.

​

joylab develops customised sensor solutions for Angst+Pfister Sensors and Power. One of the projects included the development of an optical encoder, which is used as a control knob to set the parameters of a heart-lung machine; for this, the encoder must meet very strict haptic requirements. The sensor is characterised by defined static and sliding friction torques as well as its long service life.
